Hi sorry if this is the wrong area for this post but I'm a ww2 newbie looking for help on Otto Felsing so was hoping someone could help me understand this document ? Specifically trying to trace a battalion he belonged to so I can trace his journey. Any help appreciated and thank you in advance.
Surrey, England, Regimental Rolls, 1914-1947 Name: Otto Wilhelm Felsing Event Date: 1 Jul 1943 Regiment Number: 14614486 Regiment: East Surrey TD
14614486 FESLING O.W. Pte. 5th Battalion Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment wounded in action 22.5.1944
'5th Battalion at Piedimonte' 20-24th May 1944 'The Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment 1920-1950' H.D. Chaplin
Otto-Felsing. If you would like to see what happened to 5 RWK just to the west of Piedimonte San Germano I am taking a group to Cassino 19-22 May 18. From Piedimonte, it is very easy to appreciate why 5 RWK in the area of the sunken road, suffered so heavily. Regards Frank Guide www.cassinobattlefields.co.uk
Otto-Felsing. I will also be able show you what 5 RWK got up to as part of 21 Indian Brigade, 8 Indian Division during the Fourth Battle of Cassino - before they ended up below Piedimonte San Germano. Regards Frank
Otto-Felsing. I am confident that you will find Cassino absolutely fascinating. Not only is it iconic but the four battles between Jan-May 44 are full of incompetence and utter brilliance. Do check out my website for more information. Regards Frank
